Ladies Who Cast : An Introduction to Fly Fishing - Thermopolis

Join us for Mountain Girl’s Level 1 fly-fishing clinic designed to give you the knowledge and skills needed for a day on the river!

Thermopolis’s own Elisa Daniels will cover Gear 101 and how to find what you need at your local fly shop, along with lots of hands-on instruction and a casting workshop. We’ll put your skills to use with a half-day of coached fly fishing on the Big Horn River. Don’t have the gear? Don’t worry we have you covered! All you need is a Wyoming fishing license and conservation stamp (we will help you with this).

Here's a list of what we have planned:

• Mountain Girl Talk (all things related to fishing, being a woman in the outdoors, and what to expect this weekend).
• All the technical fly fishing stuff - knots, gear, flies, fly boxes and rods.
• Casting instruction and practice.
• Visit a fly shop and learn how to read the board, where to find stuff
• How to read the water, entomology and fish handling before fishing
• FISHING (of course) on the Big Horn River (dependent on weather and river conditions)

Due to the small scale nature of this event, tickets are non-refundable. You can transfer your ticket to someone else, but we leave the logistics of the transaction up to you. Just let us know that the name on the ticket has changed.

As the event gets closer, you will receive more details including a list of what to bring, where to get your fishing license, and the exact location.

Tickets are also available on our website

Meet your guide - Elisa Daniels. Elisa is a high school counselor in Thermopolis Wyoming. She lives with her husband and two daughters on the banks of the Big Horn River north of Thermopolis. Elisa began fly fishing in 2013 after completing school and moving back to Thermop. Living on the Big Horn allowed her the opportunity to begin her fly fishing journey close to home, grow her skills and expand from there. She has fished many different waters around Wyoming. Most of her trips take her off the beaten path into the backcountry, from the Washakie Wilderness, to the Bob Marshall. One of her favorite trips was a week in British Columbia exploring the Elk River. For Elisa, Fly Fishing has become a passion and opportunity to spend time with her family while introducing her girls to the outdoors.
